I started hosting earring parties recently. My goal was to share my love of jewelry making with my community while inviting people into my studio who might not have otherwise come in. If you join me for one of these events my hope is that you will walk away with not only a new pair of earrings but some pride in having crafted something yourself!

Over school vacation week this spring on Martha's Vineyard I invited kids into my studio for jewelry craft activities! We designed and created our own stretchy bracelets from gemstones, crystals and pretty charms. There were trays of beautiful beads to work with and plenty of inspiration on hand. The kids got to choose their beads and charm and then I showed them how to put it all together. Check out their gallery of bracelet designs below!
